Hi, I am hoping someone can help clear up my confusion. I keep hearing rumors via my husband, who knows someone who knows someone who's cousin has a kid in the Hawaii public school system, that the public schools are operating on a four-day work week. I looked into this and found the calendar of furlough days, which did not seem to be every Friday. Today he came to me with new information that the schools are now only operating on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can't find confirmation of this through the board of education website.
This is relevant because 1) I'm trying to decide whether to enroll my four-year-old in Junior Kindergarten this fall, or just pony up for an additional year of preschool and 2) I'd like to have an idea, as I'm making career plans and the like, whether we are going to have to budget for private schools or if we can enroll the kids in public school (of course there are many other factors to consider besides the furlough days).
Can anyone give me the lowdown on what is going on with furloughs, and/or direct me to current information?
Also - those of you with keiki in the system - how are you coping with the furlough days?
Mahalo!
